Recycle Scrap Metal
The ReCollective Recycles Scrap Metal
Recycling scrap metal conserves natural resources, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes environmental impact. Remarkably, recycling aluminum uses up to 95% less energy than producing new aluminum from raw materials. This energy savings translates to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, helping to combat climate change.
Scrap Metal should be placed in the ReCo Pick Bag during designated months.
